The first Provincial Congress to be held in America in open defiance of royal authority was conducted in New Bern in August 1774. The resulting Resolves were issued in response to the unjust taxes and laws, and were a significant contribution to the American Revolutionary movement.

Join us as we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the New Bern Resolves! Parade, Fife & Drum Corps performances, cannon firing, and children's activities all day long! Check the website for the schedule of events.

One Day Wonder: Resolves original document will be on display, courtesy of the State Archives of NC.
